wish to pass out treats to hand them to the spectators rather than throw them; if your unit is a moving vehicle or float, please have a walker on each side who will hand out the treats.
Neither the sponsors of the Parade nor the City of Waterville will assume any liability for injury or
damages sustained by members of participating Parade Unit, nor injury or damage sustained by
spectators as a result of any action on the part of a participating Parade Unit.
